OCD Action works with the media to spread awareness of OCD and of the Charity's vital services to a wider audience. In working with the media, the Charity seeks to ensure that its key messages are expressed. These are

That OCD is severe

That OCD is treatable

That you should take action to treat OCD as soon as possible

As the UK’s largest and most comprehensive OCD charity, OCD Action is able to provide accurate and up-to-date information on OCD and related conditions and expert comment from leading professionals. The Charity also has access to a wide range of case studies from individuals willing to share their own story about struggling with OCD such as Megan (19 from London) and and Sue (61 from Canterbury ).

OCD Action's Vision

OCD Action works for a society where OCD is better understood and diagnosed quickly, where appropriate treatment options are open and accessible, where support and information is readily available and where nobody feels ashamed to ask for help.

We are here because OCD tears families apart and leaves people isolated and exhausted. OCD ruins lives. It is a sad fact that many people with OCD delay seeking help. They put up with it for too long, perhaps thinking that nothing can be done or just not knowing where to turn. OCD Action believes in taking action. We want people affected by OCD to seek help, to understand their treatment options and find the support and motivation they need to fight back. OCD is treatable, it can get better.
